How else would it correct their grammar? Users want it doing that. It’s not malware.


Okay, maybe "keylogger" was incorrect, but Grammarly has the potential to expose users to all types of security risks they might not realize are possible.

Here's a past example: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=15...

I have nothing against Grammarly; it's a legitimate company and they seem to respond well to security vulnerabilities, but it still bothers me because a user doesn't think through the potential ramifications of using software that records every keystroke.
